Lets start with my absolute fave, the True Color Creme Stick Foundation (the black tube). I have yet to find a foundation that I love more than this here baby lol. Usually, I am a MAC girl when it comes to foundation. Although I still prefer it in terms of foundation/concealer shades, Black Opal gives me better coverage. Not to mention, more bang for my buck. Retailing @ under $10, the creme stick is medium to full coverage, & is extremely buildable. It is a hypoallergenic foundation that glides & buffs onto the skin very evenly & smooth when used with a stippling brush. While it gives a more velvety finish on it's own, it mattifies when paired with a powder. Now the down side for me is the SPF. The original formula had an SPF of 8. The new True Color formula has SPF 15. It's not that big of a deal, & is technically a good thing to protect from sun rays. However, I love to take pix & the higher the SPF, the more the light reflects off of the product, causing that ashy look on camera. Nonetheless, it's not enough SPF to make a fuss or panic when someone snaps a photo. I'm just overly cautious lol.
The next item is Black Opal's Invisible Oil-Blocking Powder (all black container). While this powder has a tint to it, its shows up translucent on the face. It is very lightweight, gives a matte finish without the ashy look, & does exactly what it says it does- blocks oil. It's great for is who seep buckets of oil. I love it especially on my fat nose. Lol It's also under $10
Last, but not least is the Deluxe Finish Powder. This powder adds color & warmth while setting foundation. It gives a pretty velvet finish, but still mattifies. Although I've never tried it, I'm sure It would probably look gorg by itself to even out the skintone & give a more natural appearance. Price? Under $10!
Try these out!!!
